“Coorie in for Christmas” is a booklet produced in partnership by NHS Lothian partnered with Health in Mind and recognising that Christmas and New Year can be a difficult time of year.
It also notes that we face new challenges, unknowns and stresses over the festive period from coronavirus, and focuses on the Scottish concept of ‘coorie’ as a way to help us look after our mental health and wellbeing this winter. This booklet focuses on the things we can all do to look after our mental health and wellbeing in our homes, whilst alsoencouraging us to get outside and embrace the benefits of nature. It also includes a range of support and helpful contacts.
Murrayfield Wanderers are offering a weekly after school Rugby club for P3-7.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Edinburgh’s Children’s Partnership is really eager to hear views of Parents and Carers across Edinburgh. If you are a Parent or Carer and live in Edinburgh we would like to hear how you coped during the initial COVID-19 lockdown period and how we can best respond to any new and existing needs that you may have. Please take a few moments to complete this survey and help to shape future Family Support Services across the city.
We would be very grateful if you could complete the survey before Friday the 20th of November.
Normally at this time of year our clan chiefs and deputes would be guiding families around Dalry Primary as part of P1 registration week.
We couldn’t do that this year thanks to the pandemic so we have made a video with two of our chiefs for prospective parents, carers and P1s to get a look at the school.
It’s also a great opportunity for this year’s P1 and P1/2 families to get a peek inside the classroom as you would normally have been able to do on parents evening.
Fountainbridge is one of the 6 libraries in the city that is open at present and they hope to welcome Dalry pupils with their parents and carers.
Library staff are constantly aware of all PPE requirements. Books returned are in quarantine for 3 days.
Opening hours have been revised and are Mon and Wed 1pm-5pm
Tues, Fri and Sat 10am-2pm
There are NO fines to pay when you bring books back in at present. To take more you will need to make an appointment either via the library website or by phoning 0131 529 5616.
For nursery families there are rhymes on the library’s Facebook page.
